Your experience includes:

  • Developing low latency, highly available, globally distributed services platform that is used by over a dozen products with millions of events per minute.

  • WRITE IT DOWN: Break down requirements, estimate tasks to ensure high quality deliverables
  • BE AN OWNER: Support development operations, building, releasing and assisting with team on-call. Teams will be small and empowered so that you can move fast and ship to production multiple times in a 2 week sprint.
  • EMPOWER OTHERS: Collaborate with other teams and work cross-functionally for product launches.
